BOURBONNAIS — He likes to talk — he calls himself “Martysaurus Rex” — and he’s quickly building strong working relationships with all the other Chicago Bears around him.

And Martellus Bennett just might turn into the best tight end Chicago has had since Mike Ditka. At least that’s his plan.

“The last two really good ones, well, basically they had Ditka. … And then I thought Greg Olsen did a great job. But I’m different from all those guys, and they’re different from me,” Bennett said. “I think I’m trying to make my own brand for the tight ends of the Chicago Bears.”

After just two days of training camp, it’s starting to look like he will at least get his chance to try. While the new Marc Trestman-and-Aaron Kromer offense is still unfolding, Bennett has been one of the primary receivers for quarterback Jay Cutler throughout the summer, and through two days of real workouts, too.

He comes to the Bears on the heels of his best season as a pro after he hauled in 55 catches for 626 yards with five touchdowns. But the Giants didn’t hold onto him, and the Bears snatched him up. Now he looks to be the team’s second or third option behind wideouts Brandon Marshall and possibly Alshon Jeffery.

And he’s pretty fun to talk to. Just ask him.

“I’m probably the most interesting person on the team,” Bennett said after his first practice with the Bears. “And this, it’s like going to a new school.”

Though they’ve only been teammates for one offseason, Bennett insists he’s already built a strong rapport with plenty of his teammates, including quarterback Jay Cutler. But, as Bears fans will quickly learn, he does everything in his own style.

“We know each other as people. He knows my background and he knows I’ve got to feed my family,” Bennett said of Cutler. “I know I’m helping him feed his family, and we all understand that. I think it takes your game to another level.”

Bennett does not have very big shoes to fill. Bears tight ends Kellen Davis and Matt Spaeth combined for 50 catches for 513 yards — in the past two seasons.

But at this stage of the game, Bennett is looking way beyond just filling those shoes.

“I’m out here, I’ve got to build a legacy, and not just on the field, but off the field, too,” Bennett said.

The building blocks may be laid in Bourbonnais over the next few weeks.
